>The favicon visualization brought memories of the million dollar homepage. I suppose it was precursor of NFTs.

It was not; NFTs are digital certificates saying that you own certain digital content on the other hand The Million Dollar Homepage was basically selling ad space on the website.

You can argue you could buy part of the website(digital space) and therefore you own the part of the website but in reality you were renting it as an ad space meant to promote your website(link).

Purpose and vision of The Million Dollar Homepage and NFTs are completely different but I can see similarities between quasi owning digital space(part of website) and owning digital content or digital certificate(digital token).

Is it really necessary that we assume a precursor must be a strict equality in all dimensions aside time?

No but because of the all aforementioned reasons they are of minimal similarity.
